Schönes Gasthaus mit sehr freundlicher Besitzerin

Liebevoll gestaltet Zimmer, super Frühstück, sehr freundliche und liebenswerte Besitzerin! Der Aufenthalt war großartig. Normalerweise schreibe ich keine Bewertung, aber dieses Mal bin ich es der Besitzerin schuldig. Kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

Great hospitality in beautiful quaint house

With no signage the House of Grace is little seen from the main road, but when you pass the portal, the beautifully restored old house and its surrounding flower and vegetable garden appear. Each room has a different character, most have ensuite bathroom, all are large, confortable, clean and gracefully decorated. I received a very warm welcome from the affable owner and her staff who went out of their way to help me out during my stay. Moreover, the food (breakfast and treats) was just amazing! (and plentiful!) The B&B is very well situated: Simon's Town's center with restaurants and boutiques is only a 10-15 minutes walk in one direction and the penguins of Boulder beach are a 10-15 min. walk away in the other direction. There were also ample parking spaces on the road in front of the B&B. In short: a great experience!
